Just installed a RC 2" leveling kit and when im on the highway I seem to be getting alot of wind noise or at least I think I am now... I guess maybe the aerodynamics are changed with this mod and probably why the truck comes with a slight rake... Also any reason I am getting slight rub on sharp reverse turn on the inside liner ? i have had an alignment done afterwards and still get a slight rub at full turn in reverse backing into my driveway... still looks better either way with the leveling kit more truck like.

Highly likely. Aerodynamics is a huge part of the design process, and the angle or "rake" is the starting point. Imagine all the other fugged-up stuff those fgts with their "tilted" or "squatted" trucks are dealing with.

Never heard of this happening. Did you add lights or anything else?
